TagCloud has a cool folksonomy tool that “searches any number of RSS feeds you specify, extracts keywords from the content and lists them according to prevalence within the RSS feeds. Clicking on the tag’s link will display a list of all the article abstracts associated with that keyword.”

Here’s the TagCloud for the Media Orchard feed. If nothing else, it’s a reminder of our enduring fascination with Technorati (as well as the fact that we include the term “Technorati tags” at the bottom of every post.)

TagCloud offers a useful way to organize feeds. Still, it might be more fun to build a cloud to display all the different search terms that people use to find a site.

For example, here are some terms that people have entered in search engines in the past few weeks to find Media Orchard:

“finnegan the squirrel hoax”
“katie holmes navel”
“smurfswar”
“anderson cooper fan club”
“sexy teacher blogs”
“demonic condoleezza”
“50 cent billboard”
“eva herzigova billboards”
“clayton christensen disruptive”
“CNN caller listen”
“burundi child soldiers”
“celebrity airbrushing”
“kate moss fat line of cocaine”

Now, that would make for an interesting cloud. Useless … but interesting.

Here’s info on which Media Orchard posts have been most popular with search engine users.
